Rhododendron Study by Robert Bateman

Rhododendron Study by Robert Bateman available from Prickly Pear Galleries.

Rhododendron ponticum.

 

"My first view of rhododendrons in the wild was one of the most exhilarating moment of my life. The entier skyline was a blazing, snowy array of the Himalayas...a white wall featuring the famous sacred mountain, Kachanjunga. This spectacle was eclipsed by the great rhododendron trees - gnarled, ancient trunks and rhythmic branches all covered with what looked like thousands of bunches of red roses." - Robert Bateman.
